Do babies play this game.

How is it that Patch 2.4-2.55 delivered the most mature and shocking story of this game so far? It was FF14's Red Wedding.

Then what do we have now? Fanservice catboy eating burger cutscenes. A baby Elezen trying to treat centuries of imperial propaganda by being "nice" and two cutscenes later everyone is happy. The fan favorite catgirl with no character development since ARR going on and on about knowledge and wisdom. Oh and she """dies""" a few times and goes blind but nothing changes. And I guess we have a fedora tipping edgelord in our midst now. Who will, no doubt, open up and start learning about helping others without expecting payback again because everyone simply MUST progress in a wholesome direction.

Is this a game for babies now? No stakes, because god forbid a Scion gets killed ever again. That will hurt the fans' feelings.

Damn that's crazy, have you considered making a thread about?

[Atelier-Bagur]

I mean if youre still here what does that say about you?

[Bunnycake]

I baby plz b gentle uwu

[DiaDeem]

Yeah, Alphinaud acting like a brat was a very deep mature story.

Those guys that "wanted more freedoms, no matter the cost" in Dead Ends that end up nuking all life on the planet on the other hand is a story for kids.

Right?

We can't kill characters anymore they're too marketable.

And yet FF7 killed Aerith, ASOIAF killed Ned, Rob, and many others, TLOU killed off Joel. There can be good and bad deaths of course. Some deaths are just made for pure shock value. But that's vastly better than FF14's "oops tee hee Y'shtola didn't actually die". Can't offend the Y'shtola bodypillow havers after all.

Not that I want the Scions killed, I love them, but I do wish we got a whole new cast of characters for the new story that's slated to start in 7.0
If they really wanna keep Zero, I think there can be room for her? But I'd honestly like a whole new cast to join us in whatever we're gonna be doing next. Not that old characters can't come back, but I mean for a main running-around-with-you cast.

On the other hand, grim for the sake of being grim rapidly loses its value when it's overdone. Do you want it to go the A song of Ice and Fire route? Oh another POV character died or was horribly mutilated, I'm shocked I say, shocked.

They are never killing Y'shtola. She sells figures and represents us in Dissidia. I too wish the writer was more honest about the Scions' heroic sacrifice except not really in the MSQ, but in the end it's still Final Fantasy, what can you do?
